API: invalid language parameter

    I have to create translations for existing products, and to save time I decided to use the API. The site default language is Dutch, and I try to make English translations for over 250 products. When I try to send a translation with 

    $newData = [
          'description' => $description,
          'short_description' => $shortDescription,
          'translation_of' => $product->id,
          'lang' => 'en',
        ];
        $returnTranslationData = $webshop->createProduct($newData);

    it will return the error

    Error: Invalid language parameter: “en” [422]

    .

    If I change it to ‘lang’ => ‘nl’, it will succeed. (but not linked to any existing product)

  • Hello,
    is English active language ( We throw this error when translation language not active)?

    Also can you please show what you have inside $webshop->createProduct ?

    Thanks!

    The debug info shows active_languages”:[“en”,”nl”], so they both seem active. We already have several pages with english translations, just not the products yet.

    Relevant code would be

    
<?php namespace App\Libraries;
use Automattic\WooCommerce\Client;

/**
 * Class WebshopConnect
 *
 * @package App\Libraries
 */
class WebshopConnect
{
    private $woocommerce;

    public function __construct(){
      $url = getenv('woocommerce.url');
      $key = getenv('woocommerce.consumer_key');
      $secret = getenv('woocommerce.consumer_secret');
      $this->woocommerce = new Client($url, $key, $secret);
    }

    public function createProduct(array $productData){
      return $this->woocommerce->post('products', $productData);
    }
}

    [edit]
    Apparently one of my colleagues put the English language on hidden (I also didn’t know this was a thing), and this solved it.

    However, I expected it to be a translation for an existing product when I add the translation, but instead it gets added as an new “Dutch” product.

    The top one should be a translation of the bottom one, if I understood the documentation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/using-wordpress-rest-api-woocommerce-multilingual/

    You need to put original product id into 'translation_of' ( in you case ‘Hipertherm…’ product id ) and 'lang' to the second language ( in you case ‘en’ )
